Scripture of the Week:"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."John 5:39

Our Family Home Evening lesson came from the 2010 Outline for Sharing Time. The Ant Bug was sick for week 2 and missed the Sharing Time presentation, so I pretty much just followed their suggestion exactly, except we just discussed all three pictures together as a family:

Post three pictures on the board: John Baptizing Jesus, Christ Appears to the Nephites, and The First Vision. Divide the children into three groups, and give each group one of the following scriptures: Matthew 3:16–17; 3 Nephi 11:6–8; Joseph Smith—History 1:17. Have them discuss the scripture in their groups and then report to the rest of the children (1) the event, (2) what Heavenly Father said, and (3) how they would have felt if they had been there. Invite a child to read John 5:39. Explain that we can gain a testimony that Jesus Christ is the Son of God when we read the scriptures and pray.
